Abstract
Finding a suitable and susceptible snail host is one of the most important functions of Schistosome miracidia (Chernin, 1974; Pan, 1980). A number of behavior type studies have been carried out on Schistosoma mansoni miracidia utilizing simple quantitative and biochemical assays in relation to host-finding (Chernin, 1962, 1968, 1970, 1971, 1972).
